The Beatles worked on eight White Album songs during this 7pm-7.30am session, which also saw the completion of the recording of Savoy Truffle.

Ringo Starr was not present for the session, as on this morning he and his family flew to Sardinia for a two-week holiday. He played no further part in the mixing and sequencing of the album.

The day's first task was the creation of stereo mixes of I Will and Birthday, both of which were made in a single attempt. The final recordings for the album were then made. Chris Thomas played electric piano and organ, George Harrison added lead guitar, and tambourine and bongos were all added to Savoy Truffle.

Stereo mixes of Savoy Truffle, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Yer Blues, Sexy Sadie and What's The New Mary Jane were the last task of this long night. The last of these was evidently still being considered for inclusion on the White Album, but in the course of the next few days it was decided to omit it from the running order.
